uk.rec.boats.paddle Newsgroup History
Hi,
I seem to be having a problem getting any more than a few (currently 2) days worth of messages on this newsgroup. Can anyone tell me whether they can see more than a couple of days worth. Currently it's so short a retension time that it's not really very useful. I'm with Blueyonder - I made an enquiry to see if they were deleting messages after a few days but they say they pick up what's available on their newfeed. Grateful for any info in this respect. Happy Paddling, John Allan, Plymouth |

Happy Paddling, John Allan, Plymouth I know that it's not exactly a newsserver, and its user interface isn't as flexible, but maybe http://groups.google.com can help you out? They do carry uk.rec.boats.paddle: http://groups.google.com/group/uk.rec.boats.paddle/ Also, I find very little traffic on uk.RBP in the last month, and I'm on Giganews. Besides the five messages posted today there were only four messages for the entire month of June, and maybe 20 for the entire month of May.

Considering that whitewater kayakers are a kind of geek too, I don't mind being considered a geek! :-) Rec.boats.paddle has seen a pretty steady amount of traffic for the last couple of months, that suits me just fine. -- Wilko van den Bergh wilkoa t)dse(d o tnl Eindhoven The Netherlands Europe ---Look at the possibilities, don't worry about the limitations.--- http://kayaker.nl/ |

Happy Paddling, John Allan, Plymouth I'm with Blueyonder. I've just picked this up after about a month, so they are certainly keeping a decent history.
